So you point the mouse at a box of laundry detergent, and click, and the box slowly floats into your cart? |
|
| |
No, you just put it in the cart yourself after you click on it with the mouse. It's just a way to make dull grocery shopping seem like high-tech on-line shopping. Everybody loves to point and click. |
|
| |
Maybe the mouse could have a bar code reader, so that when you click, the item is automatically crossed off your electronic shopping list. |
|
| |
There are (were?) shopping systems which allowed you to actually push a button to scan a product and add it to your cart. The checkout system was just a matter of re-docking the reader and letting it charge the pre-arranged credit card. (Good customers, random audits, yada-yada). At least pressing that button did something useful. |

I don't know if it let you upload your shopping list to the store computer ahead of time, but that might make a nice feature. |
